If so, which one and how good is it? Probably Maul publisher would do the job but it's a bit expensive. I've played around with Open Office but it's too involved if one wants graphics, text and logos added.

From the Help for RSJ CD-cover editor; RSJ CD Cover Print RSJ CD Cover Print is an application that allows you to quickly create and print cover sheets for CD jewel cases and CD labels. The main window consists of four tabs: Titles is used to edit the CD's title, artist and track titles Front provides a print preview for the front cover of the jewel case Back provides a print preview for the back cover of the jewel case CD Label provides a print preview for the CD label (Quick Reference - hyperlink) Note: Pinting CD labels only makes sense if you have special CD label sheets; those sheets usually come with a tool that helps centering the label on the CD. RSJ CD Cover Print provides a label positioning aid that helps you to determine the exact position of the CD label on the sheet. Ed Durrant may be able to suggest alternatives.

Hi Mike, I have RSJ and didn't know there was a CD label printing program in it. Checked it out but it doesn't have enough features to make classy labels. It's OK for simple labels but I want to be able to use layers to achieve the effects I want. Thanks for the info. I think that I'll buy the Smack software that Voytek mentioned as that seems to have more features.
